Advisory PublishedCVSS 9.6/10
Vulnetix · Advisory published August 8, 2026
The postinstall script is a Windows-targeting dropper that decodes a double-encoded (hex→base64) URL and downloads a file to `C:\Temp\rbx_<random>.z`, extracts it via PowerShell's `Expand-Archive`, then recursively scans the extracted directory for any `.exe` and executes it detached. The obfuscation with hex-escape strings for every sensitive identifier (`child_process`, `spawn`, `powershell`, `User-Agent`) is clearly evasive — legitimate roblox-ts type-definition packages have no reason to download and execute arbitrary Windows binaries at install time. The publisher account (`cleungon`, protonmail, < 1 day old) published under the `@rbx-ts` namespace to impersonate the well-known `roblox-ts` project, a textbook supply-chain squatting attack. The attacker model is: install-time Windows dropper with payload hosted on catbox.moe, targeting Roblox game developers who install the legitimate-looking package.
